My latest, on frogs: www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/nation...

It was such a cool experience writing & reporting this story for The Associated Press. The piece has now been syndicated by many other outlets, including the Washington Post, and generated TV news coverage in Boston!

It was a joy digging through the Smithsonian's archives to write this story about Doris Cochran, who was an amazing herpetologist! 🐸 www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/nation...

I'm interning this spring as a science writer for the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and my first story was just published :) www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/nation...

“For too long, science journalism has been treated as something distinct, something extra — the domain of specialists writing for audiences who are already deeply interested in and informed about science. This is bad," writes @siricarpenter.bsky.social

"If news outlets only rely on muscle memory and continue doing things exactly as they always did, they will not survive or thrive," @samjmintz.bsky.social writes. "But many of the basic rhythms are important to re-establish."

I hung out with a garter snake in the sanctuary for 30 minutes while working on this story, but she did not say anything memorable for me to quote 🐍

It's turkey time! (My latest bird-related piece)

Two poems of mine were just published in "Journal IX: Urban Elegy" by Writers Without Margins. "Flowers" was inspired by a dream I had, and "Mass" was inspired by Alexis Pauline Gumbs's book, "Undrowned". 🐋

one of my favorite stories I've worked on so far
